top pics Paul, really grown on me. Still hate the mirrors! But i really think the car looks better with a colour rather than Black. I dunno what it is but it just doesn't look 'right' to me.

I think i prefer the cooper too, the chrome grille and lack of fake scoop make a difference.

Think your right about the colour black....i'm liking mellow yellow so far...:)

One thing i'm not sold on yet is the rear light cluster....it still looks far too big....:(

I'm a bit disappointed in the cloth/leather upholstery - i think it looks a bit mean:eek: Hope there is some news regarding the auxiliary lamps and how soon they'll be available. I am also more confused then ever now regarding the interior, thought i had mine specced but have seen so much more that i like now!! :rolleyes:
Well done Paul!!!:D

Fantastic!!

I love the blue S - the colour is :cool:

I quite like the black COOPER, but i think that may be because it hides the shape of it a bit more?! The interior is ewww though (apart from the white colour line on the dash :D)

Not sure about the red COOPER surprisingly, cant make my mind up on that one :rolleyes:

Cant wait to see one in the flesh, although i really cant justify another new one, not yet anyway :p

the black looks more classy with the new interior upgrades, and could tempt me to go for that with the cream leather and white colourline and piano black dash just like in those pics:)

Paul, thank you!

I wonder why they didn't wow us with a night fire red cooper? Thanks again!

I found out and from looking at photos from various sources that by chosing the half leather seating option we get less leather on the seats. The back upper panel is now cloth and the head rest is cloth where the current cars are leather. I had to go for punch carbon black becaue of that. Correct me anyone if I am wrong on this. By the way excellent coverage on the new R56 Mini Paul Thank You very much!!!

The new JCW Aero kit has been added to the international mini.com website.

It shows front apron, side skirts & rear apron.

I can't post the url 'cos i've had less than 5 posts :(

just go to the site, it's easy to find.

Yes, the Astro Black does look a bit blue. Maybe the interior lighting?

At least we see the 15" rotator alloys - they look ok to me (just as well cos I've specced 'em).

As for the spoiler mystery - possible that the £120 option is to swap the standard spoiler for the Cooper S version. Dunno - be nice to get that cleared up.

Thanks to Mr M - must have been a tiring day.:)

I've got to agree - the aero kit and the wheels look fine to me too.

Lots of nice new JCW stuff :cool: ...Do we know if this is this going to be the basis of the new JCW model we'll be getting at the end of next year?? :)

Love the new split rims too :cool: :cool: ...looks like another expensive mini could be on the cards in a year or so :rolleyes: :D

The plastics on the centre stack buttons & speedo buttons look so cheap :(

RESULT! An Astro black & White Cooper which is what I've ordered (would prefer solid black but still :rolleyes: ) :D :D :D

I'm loving:


The Biege interior with cream colour line, piano black and chrome line looks excellent and a several classes above any other small car
Brushed Alloy trim - dilemma now if I get this or piano black
Black Cross Spokes - my Flame spokes just got dumped!
The Aero kit (need to see a Cooper rear bumper now - will be different as only 1 exhaust and 1 fog light)


I'm hating


White Crown Spokes - but then again I didn't like white S-spokes either
Red part leather interior looks cheap, in the back seats, the two red "lips" look very rude! - full leather is now a definite for me - nice work MINI in getting me to shell out for this!
The ugly buttons on the standard speedo and the bare looking centre console - which is one reason why I'm getting sat nav- nice work MINI in getting...etc


Great work Paul! :)
